[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Dragonstrike]

The end of Kirlia's Lucky Chant is accompanied by a swirl of leaves! And it leads into the descent of the Primal Altaria...

Nathan is in awe of this sight...this isn't like any Altaria he's ever seen or heard about before...and it's bigger than usual too...

"So...this is what Sootopolis meant when they called Groudon and Kyogre 'Primal'..."

Nathan has no idea what else to say right now, really...just hugs the egg closer, Kirlia and Orthros by his side...

[Nylon]

Valder (Who I suppose is there as well) jumps back about two yards while taking to his hip as if there'd be a sword there. He pauses and looks at the primal Altaira in front of him, gazing at its Glory. He suddenly remembers something...
 Since he's not that big of an airhead, he sends out Pilo to hold him company.

 (this counts as primal powers, right, @Iron)

Quick Flash Back:

Before Heart go with the others to the ritual he takes Koa to join in his party and go there.

[Iron]

Piloswine glows and grows. An ice storm begins brewing, but is canceled out by Altaria. As the ice cracks away, a newly evolved Pokemon stands there, massive and stoic.

In the heart of the swamp, surrounded by watching Creshire natives, Pilo becomes...Mamo.

(He now has 3 disobedience. However, he gains +1 Loyalty.).

The elder gives Mamoswine almost as much adoration as the South Wind.



Altaria lowers her wings to engulf Shiva (and anyone else who steps forward) in warm, comforting fluff. She seems to be resting at the moment.

Altaria lowers her wings to engulf Shiva (and anyone else who steps forward) in warm, comforting fluff. She seems to be resting at the moment.

Very coyly, but incredibly thankful, Shiva leaned into those fluffy wings, showing that she trusts this Incarnate.

[Lord Windos]

Ventus quickly recalls Raphael to their Pokeball and motions for Lilith to come down from her perch and onto his shoulder, before giving a greatful and formal bow to the Primal Alteria and stepping forward into her embrace. Right now, with the magnificence of the legends proving true and the group getting one step closer to vanquishing those blasted Vines left him utterly speechless, and so he decided that silence was the best approach for now. Besides, he doesn't want to possibly irritate the mighty Dragon type/Southern Wind Incarnate by speaking carelessly, now does he?

(In the middle of a tourney, so response are going to be short. Sorry!)

[Spiritmon]

Heart was get off guard by Altaria action, but he just smile and thankful and leaned his head in that cotton wings. He avoid to speak and just relax.

[Iron]

Altaria also donates a little bit of fluff to those of you carrying eggs, pulling out a little loose down from her back with her beak.

Then, when she is rested, she spreads her wings wide! She seems to be trying to use a move.

First, you find yourselves moving more rapidly. It's first noticed when Espurr takes a few steps back from this giant bird - it's like he's moving in fast forward. Like a strong Tailwind, but stronger - and when you move, the air hums around you.

Then the wind picks up again, and Altaria takes to the air! You find yourself boosted right along with her, either clutching at her fluff or even just riding along bodily in the slipstream! The swamp grows smaller and smaller beneath you until even the mighty cottonwood is little. Even the Metagross, Light Metal as they are, are swept up into the windstorm. Small animal Pokemon like Espurr will frantically claw their way back into their Pokeballs. Mamoswine is strangely comfortable with it; you may leave him in or out at your option.

Hanging there in thin air, you've never felt so much power from a Pokemon's abilities. You're flying in style, at incredible speed, far faster than Tropius or Raphael fly naturally.
But only northward, never southward, for this is the Southern Wind Incarnate. For the Mamo, it can never lead them home. For Nathan, it blows straight at his.

Altaria moves slightly left or right at a soft touch, or slows or speeds up.

Nathan figures this is about the limits of Altaria's current trajectory.

Receiving a bit of fluff from 'her' causes Shiva to bow once again to the Incarnate. It's clear that she she holds a lot of resepect and awe for 'her', as well as a feeling that she's in good hands (or fluffy wings) as long as she just stays by 'her' side.

She was just about to thank 'her' for it as she has risen from that bow and laid her hair back again, but then the sensation of a flight came in! Professor/Reverend Cottonwood was absolutely right, this indeed all but deserves to be called 'a finest moment in one's life'. Thinking of him, just in that moment Shiva spotted his namesake-tree beneath... It was so mighty a few hours ago, now it looked so incredibly small. The thought that she was there, beneath it preparing herself for the ritual, and now she was here flying with the elusive Southern Wind Incarnate having taken a form that she more than enjoys... It caused her eyes to be filled with tears. They fell behind quickly. Oh, it must be the flight wind, sorry...

Seeing how Kyuu definitely desired to stay with his Master, Shiva was quick to get a hold of him, hugging him close to show that she is there and will keep him safe just like back then when she saw him in a lucid dream. After a few moments of sharing such peaceful closure, she recalled him into his Pokeball. The same goes with Cottonee.



(The flight of the Southern Wind Incarnate! Xi - 'Ascension to Heaven')

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Once having dried most of her tears with the longer end of her scarf, Shiva let go of it - it fell behind just as quickly, following her as it too rode the breeze.

Then, she extended her hand once again, this time to really and softly touch the Incarnate's neck, trying to get 'her' attention. She had to raise her voice a little to even hear her own words, the enjoyable humming in the air remained present."Dear Incarnate of the Southern Wind... Do allow me to ask you to fly us to the place that hosts you, mighty legend, swamp and mountains - to 'the Ends of the Earth'. It is our aim to stop the Vines from engulfing Stair City before they take an inncocent life - we are looking for answers how to do that. This is why I summoned you, in the hopes that you guide us to these answers."
